Let them work the bugs out for a few games. Opening the season against another top 3 team on the road has a way of making a team look worse than they are. We have the speed, but the processing/timing needs to get there with Arch. Several times we had a TE or WR open, but Arch didn't find them. Hopefully this stopped all the Arch to the draft talk for a while. I agree on returners. Weird choices there.

Sark understands he's going to need to lean on his defense while the offense figures out who it is under Arch. We'll probably see what Clark and Mosley bring on Saturday.

He’s been leaning in his defense his entire tenure here while the offense has lagged far behind.

lagged far behind is a reach.  Texas had a top 10 offense in 2023 and we had the most explosive offense last year.

FEI Ranking 

YEAR Offense - Defense

2024 18 - 3

2023 19 - 6

2022 17 - 8

2021 35 -  47

 

Outside of year 1 the defense has improved and severely outperformed its counterpart. Offense is stagnant despite talent increasing substantially and look at draft picks. This is sad for a so called offensive mastermind in Steve Sarkisian. Also this doesn’t include being ranked 111 and 89th in red zone offense each of the past 2 years and regressing in that category.
